      Verdict

      Oisin Murphy partners newcomer Bolthole, who is a half-brother to a winning miler in Ireland. GAIUS weakened once headed in a Listed race at Sandown last time but he should be suited by the step up to a mile and looks the form pick on earlier placed efforts here and at Newbury, though Catterick winner Taj Alola is much respected. Bondi Man is improving with experience and Nasim was keeping on at Sandown in June and is a likely improver.
